Arnolfini - est 1961

Here Today, Here Tomorrow presents a selection of works from Jerwood Collection that draw upon themes of the cycles of life and our relationship to nature, place and the spaces that we inhabit. It is inspired by ideas that are woven into the works in our major exhibition Rinko Kawauchi: At the edge of the everyday world (19 October 2024 to 16 February 2025).

We have brought together a selection of 22 artworks – from quiet paintings of landscapes, still lifes and portraits, to bright and colourful screenprints that capture the textures of our everyday lives and the traces that humans leave behind.

This exhibition is the second of a three-year collaboration between Arnolfini and the Jerwood Collection to share the collection, supported by the Jerwood Foundation exploring the idea of art for enjoyment.

Featuring artists Hurvin Anderson, Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, Patrick Caulfield, Kaye Donachie, Maggi Hambling, David Hockney, Eliot Hodgkin, Yinka Ilori , Chantal Joffe, Shani Rhys James, John Wells and Clare Woods.

The title of the exhibition, Here Today, Here Tomorrow, is taken from Yinka Ilori’s series of six screenprints created in 2023, four of which are featured in the show.

As part of Here Today, Here Tomorrow, we are collaborating with a collective of artists from Art in Motion (AIM) to create an artwork responding to the work on display from the Jerwood Collection and which develops upon their own interests and creative practice. This collection of 9 artworks will be reproduced on fabritac and displayed on the walls along the corridor on Level 2, showcasing unique perspectives and interpretations of subjects and themes that connect these local and international artists across different times and disciplines.

Art in Motion (AIM) is a not-for-profit arts organisation based in Bristol, UK. They are a dynamic organisation that collaborates with learning-disabled and neurodiverse artists to make artwork. They champion inclusivity and creativity, opening doors to the arts and increasing belonging within the artist community. They provide opportunities for individuals to develop their art practice, learn new skills, broaden their experience, and showcase their work through exhibitions and events.

Jerwood Foundation was established in 1977 by Alan Grieve, CBE for John Jerwood. In 1991, after Jerwood’s death, Grieve became chairman of the Foundation which to date has donated over £110 million in capital and project funding to support the visual and performing arts in the UK.

The purpose of the Jerwood Collection of Modern and Contemporary British art is to give public access to a privately-owned collection and enhance the understanding and enjoyment of this period of British art. Holding just under 300 works the collection is widely accessible through loans to national and international institutions and inclusion on several digital platforms.
